Duck and Cover

1998 was the last time anything felt good in my life, you hush your mouth.

I was never here.

i have no interest in the Fallout series anymore, and until now it had literally been years since I logged into DAC, but...yes. Yes, I'm one of the ones still here.

Howdy, comrades.

...You haven't aged well.

EDIT:
Oh good, that still works.

The whole movie is so tightly constructed and expertly done. If you love action movies, you need to see it. And it's a prime example of the "show, don't tell" mandate in filmmaking. The audience doesn't need paragraphs of exposition and backstory, or dialogue that spells out every characte...

New Fallout fans are so :subhuman: Seriously, I do find it strange that so many of my gamer friends - Fallout 3/New Vegas fans all - have never played 1 or 2, nor do they have much inclination to. I talk about FO1 and their eyes glaze over. You're playing a game called Fallout 3 - aren't you even a ...

http://gravitymovie.warnerbros.com/ See it. It's excellent. The acting is great, it's well-written and compelling, and the quality of the special effects and cinematography are almost beyond words. They simply couldn't have made this movie 10 years ago; the technological wizardry on display here is...

Having recently upgraded my computer after almost 10 years (no, really), I downloaded Steam and have been catching up on some of the major titles I've missed. I've been playing Portal and Portal 2 like a fiend lately. Portal 2 is great, but I'm actually more in it for the story than the gameplay, aw...

Liked it, didn't love it. I wished it had a more distinct point of view; the events are presented matter-of-factly and sort of wishy-washy, which would work for a documentary, but for a dramatic film it leaves you wondering what you're supposed to feel, if anything at all. Not that I expect movies t...

"Goldfinger" really is quintessential Bond, and it holds up well 50 years later. I liked Skyfall. The writing and acting are superb, which is not what one typically says about a Bond film. It's also relatively low-key and deliberately paced, which I found refreshing (and, ironically, more ...

2002 called, they want their hot fashion item back. *zing*

PooperScooper's review of Looper is super. I thought it was very good, although it lacks a certain...something. Inception, for example, had me glued to the screen; this is a little less gripping, but well-crafted. The acting, writing, editing, and direction are absolutely ace; it's a razor-sharp mov...

I don't trust all these PG-13 action movies cluttering up the place lately. Half the reason I saw Prometheus was because it had that solid, reassuring 'R' rating slapped onto it like a seal of approval. Total Recall without blood and guts? Fuck off.

I'm intrigued by the current one; it seems to have some actual studio lighting and a backdrop going on. Context?

It's frustratingly close to greatness. I agree with Pooper re: the lack of characterization and emotional dynamics; the characters don't feel like real people so much as archetypes, written by sci-fi geeks with tin ears for dialogue. Also, each one of them seems to surrender all common sense about h...

What I don't like is that fact that they are doing 3d on it since I thought Riddley Scott would actually have enough dignity not to do that shit. Supposedly he required some convincing, but was sold on it after seeing the results. It's actually filmed in 3D, not upconverted from 2D, and it's been d...

Prequel to Alien involving the origins of the "space jockey" creature, and/or the genesis of the human race. Directed by Ridley Scott. Filmed in 3D. Starring Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, and Charlize Theron. Judging from the trailers , it's going to be thought-provoking sci-fi coupled...

Is there anyone from the Gamespy forums besides Kashluk and Pyro still posting here? *raises hand* I remember the switch. 'Twas exciting. Then the last 8 years happened, which have been...less exciting. Also, everyone who was anyone has flown the coop. (No offense, y'all.) But still, here DAC stand...

It was marketed all wrong. There's barely any action, and when it does occur, it's stylized, brutally violent and rather un-Hollywood. The whole flick has a Euro vibe that clearly alienated the average American action movie fan. That said, I thought it tried a little too hard; at times I felt like t...

phpBB is just about the only forum code that doesn't slow my browser to a molasses-covered crawl. Besides, a forum is a forum is a forum, no matter what bells and whistles you put on it. As long as we can post threads and reply to them, why go through the hassle of upgrading?

Pooper wrote:There is rape in the movie but from what I hear it's very close to how rape would happen in Sweden but I have no way to confirm this.

Isn't rape pretty much the same no matter where it happens?
